The GF has a dead phone all the fucking time.  We've got half a dozen of the little battery pack dealies, but none of them are really worth a shit.

Recommend a good one for me, preferably that I can buy on amazon.  She carries a  purse, so size isn't as concerning as performance.

Not trying to be a dick, but if she doesn't remember to charge her phone she's not going to remember to charge a battery pack. Essentially, you're going to have to make it part of *your* routine. That's what I ended up doing.

Well, if her phone is dying, and she's got a battery pack charger in her handbag, she'll plug the fucker in.  In her work, she's moving around a lot and can't just plug into a wall outlet for an hour, and she's rarely in the car

I have a Jackery and an Anker. They seem about the same and will charge a phone about 2 1/2 times. Model depends on what size you want to carry around and how much you want to spend. The one's I use are about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Got both on Amazon. 

I have an Anker and have been really pleased with it.

can confirm.  she'll either not recharge the battery pack, or wont even bring it along.

the best solution is to actually buy a phone with long battery life (like huawei).  but if shes anything like my woman, she'll turn down the offer so she can complain about her existing phone at every opportunity.

She needs a phone battery case since there is zero chance she will charge the battery pack.

A Mophie battery case is likely the smarter choice in this situation. http://www.mophie.com/

You must be boring if she wants to be in the phone during sex

Get a Moto g7 power with a 5,000 mAh battery (25% + battery life over most other models)

disclosure: I have a moto g6 play, and i love the battery life. I can get 2 days on a charge with a 4,000 mAh battery

I opted out of ease-of-carrying and got the biggest one I could find. It’s a Mophie. It stays in my work bag all the time. I charge it once every other week or so. I don’t remember the mAh rating, maybe 20,000, but it’s a lot. It’s the size of a pair of cigarette packs and it’s heavy. But it stays in my bag with a cord. I never carry it around in a pocket or anything. When the phone gets low it goes in the bag. It’ll charge my iPad at least twice and my phone a bunch of times.

Or not charge her phone because she has the battery pack.  

True story, my wife had one is those battery packs.  She kept it in her car to charge while she was driving.   That lasted a few weeks before the pack ran out of juice and she never brought it inside to charge it.  I haven't seen it since.  I assume she thought it was broken and threw it away.

How many times does she tell you this?

I can charge my phone eight times with this. Anker is the answer. Although it takes hours and hours to charge back up. spacer.png
